    What is Podcasting?

    Definitions
    Podcast - A podcast is a digital media file, or a
    series of such files, that is distributed over the
    Internet using syndication feeds for playback on
    portable media players and personal computers.

    RSS (Real Simple Syndication) Feed - An XML


    format that is used to define channels of
    information such as title, author, description,
    dates when podcast and episodes were created,
    etc.
    Episode - An individual media file contained
    within a RSS feed.
    Characteristics
    A podcast can be:

    • a one-time production.
    • a serial production where new “episodes” are
    produced daily, weekly, or monthly.

    • downloaded automatically when new


    content is uploaded by the author or
    “podcaster.”

    • listened to whenever and wherever


    Common Misconceptions
    • You need an iPod - No, an iPod is not needed. You
    can just use your computer or an .mp3 player.

    • A podcast is like live radio - No, it’s not a real-


    time broadcast.

    • You have to pay to host a podcast or to subscribe


    to podcasts - No, podcasting is free, both to
    subscribers and podcasters.
    Three Types of Podcasts
    Basic podcast - audio only
    • created using voice recorder or Audacity.
    • typical format is .mp3 .
    Enhanced podcast - audio with slides & pictures
    • presentations with narration and chapters
    • typical formats are .mp4a, .mp4b, but can also
    be .mov files and even .PDF .

    Vodcast - video
    • created using digital camcorder and video
    editing software such as iMovie.
    • typical formats are .mp4 or .mov .
    Uses for Podcasts in Courses
    • Sum up a difficult lesson or concept, or add more
    detail than was covered in class.

    • Interview a guest speaker.


    • Record in-class discussions where students can
    become part of the content creation process.

    • Post “pre-casts” of what will be covered in the


    next lesson to prepare students.

    • What other ways can you suggest?


    Accessing a Podcast
    • There are a few ways to access a podcast:
    1) Download a stand-alone podcast from a link on
    a webpage

    2) Subscribe by clicking on an RSS link located on


    a webpage. Examples of RSS links include:

    3) Search for podcasts using a podcatcher like


    iTunes or iPodderX, then subscribe to it.
